In fact, if everybody who read this donated just $5 to our Christmas campaign...the fundraiser would be over in a matter of HOURS!

You know that the mainstream media is anti-life and anti-family. You know that we can’t count on them to defend our values, or to tell our stories. That’s why we need a different kind of journalism - one that is professional, of the highest quality, fearless, objective, truthful…and 100%, unapologetically pro-life and pro-family.

That's LifeSiteNews.

But to keep this truth mission alive, we rely on a growing army of everyday readers like you - readers who donate whatever they can afford, even just $5!

Secretary of State Kerry: promoting gay rights abroad ‘at the very heart’ of U.S. policy

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 10, 2013 (LifeSiteNews) – Secretary of State John Kerry wishes homosexuals around the world a “Happy Pride Month.” That was the message conveyed in a recorded message released Friday to employees of the U.S. State Department, in which he outlined the bureaucracy’s robust approach to promotinghomosexual advocacy throughout the world.

“I wanted to take a moment to join people around the world in celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride month,” Kerry said in the message.

“This month is about the assertion of equality and dignity. It is about the affirmation of fundamental freedoms and human rights. It is about people taking pride in who they are, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity. Protecting universal human rights is at the very heart of our diplomacy, and we remain committed to advancing human rights for all, including LGBT individuals. We are committed to advancing these rights not just in the month of June, but year-round.”

“As Secretary,” Kerry added, “I join with my colleagues at our embassies, consulates, and USAID missions around the world in saying, no matter where you are, and no matter who you love, we stand with you.

“Across the globe, in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas our diplomats are assisting local LGBT organizations and supporting local human rights advocates working to promote equality, create dialogue, and ensure protections for LGBT individuals.”

Kerry said that the State Department is working to increase the amount of money available for international homosexual advocacy.

“Through the Global Equality Fund, the State Department has already provided critical emergency and long-term assistance to promote and protect the human rights of LGBT persons in over twenty-five countries,” said Kerry. “And our support will continue to grow, in cooperation with other equality-minded governments, foundations and corporations."

He quoted the president as saying that homosexual advocacy is “central” to the U.S. approach to human rights.

“As President Obama said, ‘the struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States’ commitment to promoting human rights,’” said Kerry. “LGBT persons must be free to exercise their human rights--including freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly and association--without fear of reprisal.”

Concluded Kerry, “To those celebrating Pride in the United States and around the world, I wish you all a Happy Pride month.”
